Well, I don't have a use only once clause because my backups are smaller
than the tape size itself.  I can squeeze two or maybe 3 full server
backups onto a single 100gig tape.  However when the tape is marked
Full, it will not be used anymore.

It is possible for me to do a single file backup, and have a Run After
Command that does this perhaps.  Does this seem logical:

Run After Job = /etc/bacula/markfull %v

where /etc/bacula/markfull expects a volume name as an argument and
issues a command to bconsole using this?
